D#m
The lightning climbing up the walls
The finger drawings on the glass
B
The map of those who used to live here
Until the gilded hand was broken
D#m
Often there's a voice in my sleeping mind
The words inside my skull at night
    B
But once I wake, I cannot read them
                                   F#
My bloody hands remain a question mark

Chorus:
                                A
Sifting through the hiccups of time
                                B
We'll hide in the bones of the city
                                   F#
The engines sing along with their cries
                        A
This song, it spells disaster
                             B
But it's buried beneath the laughter

The words that fall from out their mouths
Can change in your hands and split the skin
So I will keep myself apart
From shining eyes and privileged boredom

The thing that I've learned from unusual blood
Is never touch a person's comfort
The voice of change is often heard
But fear itself has come to visit

Chorus:
Sifting through the hiccups of time
We'll hide in the bones of the city
The engines sing along with their cries
This song, it spells disaster
But we drown it out with laughter

        F#
And our eyes
They were always pointed at the sky looking for
   B
an answer
        F#
And our hands
They were stained in black and grey busy solving
  B
problems
        D#m
And our backs all bear the load of all
                                       B
the things we'll never know until it breaks us
           D#m
And in the comfort of the Earth we will
not wonder what we're worth
                   B
No, we will sleep soundly

All along the Road to Nowhere
